Shani.....I think the registered voters in question (without state-issued photo ID) can vote absentee in IN and GA....so it debunks the myth that such laws are to prevent voter fraud.

But why should they be forced into absentee voting rather than voting in person. Many, particularly those not politically active except once every 4 years, may even be unaware of the absentee option.

IMO, it represents a violation of the "equal protection" clause of the Constitution....they have to pay (fee and/or lost wages in obtaining photo ID) or lose their choice in how they vote.
